Mother Love Bone Unveil Deluxe Reissue

The Seattle legends are reissuing their classic debut and more! 

This is good news, people. Mother Love Bone are set to release a very special boxset called Mother Love Bone: On Earth As It Is on November 4th via UMC. The band only released one full-length album before the tragic death of their singer Andrew Wood – an event that would subsequently lead its members Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard to form Pearl Jam. The boxset will be available in both vinyl and CD/DVD sets, the full details of which can be seen at the bottom of this post. Anyone pre-ordering the digital version here will receive the song Hold Your Head Up instantly.

For a reminder of Mother Love Bone’s genius, check out their classic song Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns below:
